My book review is for the book Touching Sprit Bear.
It is one of the best books I have ever read! It is about this troubled kid who is sentenced to live on an island or be sent to prison. He is smart to take the island. Over the coursee of his stay he finds his true self. I give this book a 4-½ rating.

FLY UP, FLY UP
By: Danielle C.

Fly up, Fly up it's time to go
When you fly up, fly up
Like a butterfly soaring through the air
But up a little higher
You see your friends who are up there
Him, her, or I
You’ll see them, and you’ll like it up there
It’s hard to let go
GOOD BYE

This was dedicated to my great grandmother who
died at the age of 75 on October 5th

Five tips for the perfect fake eyebrows.

1. Make sure you use a color that is somewhat the same as your hair color (at least one shade lighter than your hair color).

2. Never make them thick or just a straight line it's ugly!

3. Make sure they’re even, use a ruler if you have to, because if they’re not even you’re going to look weird.

4. Make sure they aren’t too far or too close by lining them up with the bridge of your nose.

5. Make them curve just a little bit and don’t shave them off, because it makes them look ugly when they grow back.

There’s just one consequence you should know, they might not grow back if you wax or tweeze them off a lot.

So these are some tips for drawing your eyebrows, have fun!

Happy love day
It’s the time for love for every one that is important that is. I think Valentines Day is the lamest holiday of the year, because we cannot show our affection towards anyone at school. We cannot date here at ARTEC, because of the stupid rule at school, but it’s cool, because my lady doesn’t go here. So all of you who have girl friends here you are lame. Go get a box or candy and find a girl so you are not a loner.

My true love for my valentine, well the one and only person that I loved dumped me. But we had plans for today. I even bought her roses. We were supposed to go to the movies, but not now, because she found another boyfriend that bought her a dozen roses. I, wel,l I only bought her a couple roses. Then I gave them to her. She threw them back at me. I know it's sad, but it makes me happy.

I hope you all have a happy Valentines Day to all of you.

Respect
By: Sarah M.

Everyone here is so mean. Just because you are at ARTEC DOES NOT mean you have the right to be disrespectful. I am tired of people saying something so mean and then say that they were just joking. THAT DOES NOT CUT IT!!!!!!!!! All of you can be very respectful, but you all think that because you are at ARTEC you don’t have to be respectful. Well, that is not true, this is a school and you all still have to be respectful.
And sarcasm is NOT respectful. So when you say something mean to someone and then say just joking expect to get assessed because staff are not putting up with it anymore

Movie review

Primeval

There is a killer in the rivers and water in Africa. They call the killer Gustave, but it is huge! So, I think 3 people from the news went to Africa to see what was going on. They had some people in Africa that were helping them look for the killer. They meet this boy who wants to go to America. Those 3 people told him if he helps catch the killer they will try to get him in to America. After all those people that were supposed to be helping them turned on them

I give this movie 4 stars. by:Sherrie H.

Darfur is one of the most dangerous places in Sudan. There are over one million African Americans living there. Not in the best place to me to live in. The young and old, weak and strong are being starved, mothers being raped, children being shot. These starving people are dying on the streets, and what is America and the president doing about it? The ongoing Darfur Genocide is no accident, no local tribal conflict and most people say no ones problem. But these people are our family, friends and for some a big help, so if you are interested in this for more info go to
://www.unicefusa.org/. We helped out other nations so why not Darfur?

Love's Not Supposed to Hurt

Love's not supposed to hurt.
Not too much or a lot.
Even when you say the word
It should not be a thought.


Love is not a simple thing.
It’s not a time to play.
No time to be so bad or mean
Just a chance to say

I love you to the sky and back.
I love you so much more.
I love you every day I have

Your love to adore.

Love is not a single phrase.
It’s not even a word.
Love takes so many days.
But never should it hurt.

MOVIE REVIEW

SAW III was a good movie. It is about this guy
whose kid gets killed. Now he has the chance to decide
if the witness, judge, and the guy who killed his
kid gets to live or die. He decides to try to save the
witness after a while, but she died. He decides to
save the judge after a while and he saved him. He decides
to let the guy die, but then tried to help him, but he
didn’t do it in time. He gets done with his tests,

goes out of the room and sees his wife get shot
and kills the person who shot his wife.

Josh

You

I love you forever
No matter what you say
I wish we were together
Every single day

Every time I see you
I want you even more
I hope you want me too
You make my heart soar

Baby watch yourself please
So I can be with you
You have me on my hands and knees
When I talk to you

Every time I talk to you
I become even more afraid
Every time I talk to you
Your interest seems to fade

Even though I want you
I know that I can wait
I wish that you would want me too
I know it is our fate

Speak

• It’s about a girl (Melinda) who started high school the wrong way. She had no friends, no one would talk to her and her old friends were rude to her.

• She had gone to a party. Something had happened to her so she called the cops and left. She never told anyone what had happened. She thought no one would believe her.

• The first day of school she had an art class. He was a nice teacher. She thought he was kind of weird. He made the class take a piece of paper out of a hat. “ This is your destiny. You will spend the whole year working on this. At the end of the year you will learn something.”

• Melinda found a closet to hide in. She spent a lot of time in there. It was an old janitors closet. It smelled gross so she washed it, she brought some potpourri, she brought some of her drawings so it was not that plain.

• If you want to find out what happened at the party read this book.



What’s hot and what’s not

I think that emo people are really hot, especially punk emo boys they are HOT!!!!!!
I also think that Johnny Depp is really good looking.

What’s not hot is the color chalkboard green.
Girls that wear shirts that really don’t cover their chest are really ugly!
People who wear socks with their sandals are definitely not hot or people who don’t wear socks with their shoes!!!

The Marine

The Marine is about John Triton. He was a marine, but he got fired after not following directions in the Marine Corps. So he and his wife decided to go on a vacation. They stopped to get gas and his wife was kidnapped. So the movie is about John Triton trying find his wife and the people who took her. If you want to know what happens next watch the DVD movie The Marine.

John Cena plays as John Triton.

TROLLEY SQUARE
Ok, so I’ve heard a lot about the Trolley Square tragedy and I don’t know what to think about it. I mean yea it’s sad and I feel depressed just thinking about it and I have an uneasy feeling every time I drive by Trolley Square. But what would drive a person to just decide to pick up a shotgun and start shooting helpless people? It really kind of disturbs me and is a very eye opening thing to think about. So could anyone help me understand the situation?

I think this is an ok school some of the time.
There are some things I think would make it better.
1. This school could use full size lockers that way if we have things that we are tired of carrying we have more room than a half size locker.
2. More elective classes, what I mean is classes we can choose from.
3. Letting people date, so that they aren’t grumpy all the time.

My favorite type of music is metal. Metallica is my favorite band. My favorite album is Master of Puppets. I like this type of music because some songs are angry and some are just heavy. The old Metallica is heavier than new Metallica.

How to fix Computers:


I know all about computers so I will give 5 tips to NOT ruin a computer and how to fix one too:

1: Don’t do anything stupid (like erase system files)!
2: If you want to erase games right-click and then delete then right-click on Recycle Bin and then empty Recycle Bin.
3: If you have Internet difficulties, call your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
4: If you need help with games or other things, ask your parents for help.
5: The easier you know about computers, the easier to fix them!!!!

Dear Artec,
A lot of things in life are popularity contests. I think that electing a president, vice president etc.for artec has become one. I think this isn’t right, so remember when you guys vote to listen to the person speaking and not to look at their social status, looks or anything unimportant.
